Health Workers Prepare for Industrial Action | Belfast News

Public health workers are preparing for a major showdown starting September 30th, led by union Fórsa, who’s calling for a “work-to-rule” strike — doing only their core duties and refusing overtime or covering shifts. With 32,000 members in health and welfare alone, this is a frontline protest over stalled pay negotiations that ended in June with no new offer from the government. Other public sector unions are joining the pressure, signaling a wider crisis. Meanwhile, Minister Jack Chambers insists talks are ready to begin — but workers say they’ve been ignored. The standoff is on, and the government’s response could decide whether this action escalates or fizzles out. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
